Quintet Private Bank has appointed Otto Huber as group chief financial officer and member of the authorised management committee, succeeding Nicholas Harvey.

The Luxembourg-headquartered private banking group announced the appointment on 13 May 2026. Huber will take up the role in Luxembourg in June 2026, while Harvey will step down at the end of July 2026 to pursue professional opportunities elsewhere.

Huber joins from Bank Vontobel in Switzerland, where he was most recently head of structured solutions and treasury. He oversaw structured investment products and derivatives across equity and fixed income in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as treasury and loan underwriting activities. Before Vontobel, Huber spent more than a decade at Credit Suisse in Zurich and New York, holding senior roles across global treasury and risk management.

Thomas Heinzl, chief executive of Quintet, remarked that Harvey had made a significant contribution over the past 13 years, helping to expand the group’s finance capabilities and guide it through changing market conditions.

Hugo Bänziger, chairman of the board of directors of Quintet Private Bank, said Huber brings more than 20 years of experience across finance, treasury and capital markets.

The Quintet group oversees more than €105bn in total client assets and reported a 2025 net profit of €66.3m. It operates through local brands including Merck Finck in Germany, InsingerGilissen in the Netherlands, Brown Shipley in the UK, Puilaetco in Belgium and Quintet in Luxembourg and Denmark.
